Prevalence, Morbidity, and Mortality of Men With Sex Chromosome Aneuploidy in the Million Veteran Program Cohort

Abstract

In this case-control study of men with 47,XXY and 47,XYY syndromes, prevalence of SCA was comparable with estimates in the general population. While these men had successfully served in the military, they had higher morbidity and reported poorer HRQOL with aging. Longer longitudinal follow-up of this sample will be informative for clinical and patient-reported outcomes, the role of ancestry, and mortality statistics.
